Literary names for dogs?

I'm an English major, and I'd really like a literary name for the hypothetical dog I may or may not own one day. For a girl dog, I was thinking Mina after Mina Harker in Dracula. I can't think of many boy names from literature that I like, though, which is a shame because I'd rather have a boy dog. I did consider Gatsby after, of course, The Great Gatsby. I prefer people sounding names for dogs, rather than, say, Scooby or something.

I've always thought Diogenes would be a great name for a dog. Diogenes was a Greek philosopher who was associated with dogs. He was often (not so flatteringly) described as being dog-like by his contemporaries, and he frequently extolled the virtues of dogs. He's been referenced and parodied in many stories. There was a dog called Diogenes in Dickens' Dombey and Son, the protagonist in CharlotteBronte's Villette is given the nickname Diogenes, Mycroft Holmes is a member of the Diogenes Club, etc.

Lol. I've just written rather a lot about this in a post about dog names and breeds. You can go and read it, but basically most of my rather long list of male dog names is literary as is my rather shorter list for female dogs. Dogs seem to be the opposite of children in that all the boys get the interesting names and all the girls are called Molly and Bella.

Re. Gatsby - There's an ad on TV in the UK atm for Vax hoovers (can you say that?) with an Italian Spinone in it called Gatsby. I remember thinking it was an awesome name for a dog the first time I heard it.

@hanniekitt, I saw your other thread. I love Sherlock for a boy dog as well! I also saw somewhere that you're Northern Irish. That's awesome! I used to live in Northern Ireland so I always get excited when I hear of people from there.
